Decide on the look first. Set point up, a diamond throws quick glints off its tip, not the steady sparkle of a face-up stone, so study the pictures. Most buyers here choose a ring, and the 25 pointer Asscher eternity band and its matching band sold best. Order your exact size, since an eternity band, set with stones all round, cannot be resized, and a ring we resize can't come back.
Point up: what an upside down diamond is, inverted or reverse set
An upside down diamond is an ordinary cut stone turned over in its setting. A diamond has a flat top, the table, and a pointed bottom. A normal setting shows you the table. These pieces show you the point, with the table resting down in the gold, so a round stone rises like a small cone and a square Asscher like a small pyramid. Listings also say inverted or reverse set, the same thing. On four tennis pieces only every other stone is turned. Every piece is prong set.
The rings: upside down Asscher diamond rings and eternity bands
Start with the 25 pointer eternity band or its sister band, the two rings that sold far ahead of the rest. Their Asscher rows are framed by round diamonds. Every ring is lab-grown, and nearly all are Asscher cut. An eternity band carries stones all the way around, so settle the size before you order. The pinky ring holds the most diamond weight of any ring and comes only in a 6 or a 7. The cross ring is the only one in 10K. The rings also have their own page, upside down diamond rings.
Earrings and crosses: upside down diamond earrings and cross necklaces
The flower earrings cluster small upside-down stones, and they run from 9 to 13 mm across. The 9 mm pair sold best of all the earrings. Its listing reads natural on the origin line, and so does one 11 mm pair. The cushion pair and the cluster pair measure 12 mm. Both say natural, as does the mosaic hoop. For a cross, the mini hangs on an 18 inch cable chain. The larger one comes on a 24 inch curb chain.
Tennis pieces: upside down tennis bracelets and tennis chains
Choose a tennis piece by its width. Under 3 mm, the pink bracelets sit light on the wrist. Near 4.5 mm you get the everyday line of stones. The three-row styles reach 8 mm. Each bracelet comes in one length. Measure your wrist, then choose one about half an inch longer. Every chain comes at 22 inches. The alternating chain also comes at 24. The Cuban is the one bracelet in 10K, its natural stones turned point up along each link. For rows set the usual way, see tennis chains and men's diamond chains.
Lab-grown or natural: lab grown upside down diamonds and 14K gold
Most of these diamonds are lab-grown. Grown or mined, each one is diamond, and turning it point up does not change what it is. Eight pieces say natural on the listing: the cushion, cluster and hoop earrings, two flower pairs, the Cuban, the black diamond bracelet and the three-row natural bracelet. Every grown piece lists E-F color and VS clarity or finer. Only two pieces are 10K, and on nearly all you choose yellow, white or rose gold.
